I am feeling so bored. I know know if i have to work next week, but i hope i dont have to, i want to take a break before my 6 day course on business starts. 3 weeks has passed and yeah im starting to feel really tired already, the job of the childcare teacher can be rather demanding- physically and mentally. after each day when i leave the centre at 6, i stone my way home, and by 11, im usually asleep. I woke up at 6am to go to work at 6.45am, and i felt like i was going to school. because i woke up at 6, i was already yawning by 10am, but thankfully, i got to leave earlier. it was almost the same, i was reminded of something i didnt want to be reminded of.

A 3 year girl was crying for her mummy and her 3 year old boy classmate went up to her and wiped her tears away and said " bu yao ku, mummy hui lai de, guai, bu yao ku" ( Translation: Dont cry, mummy will come, be good, dont cry) and he wiped her tears off again. He said it with so much love and it was so touching i nearly teared.

have already worked for more than a week. and working isnt easy at all. your blood pressure goes up, your stress level goes up and you feel like ripping your hair off. But i guess thats part of life. Although its tough, i get a lot of rewards beside the tangible ones-cash, i get intangible ones, like having so many other children love me more than i love them. It really warms my heart when children run up to me to hug me when they see me and give me a flying kiss when they go home.
Even though technically speaking, i am working, i am treating this as a learning journey because there are a lot of things which i can learn, things which cant be learnt during field practicum. i have learnt a lot during the past one week when i have been there.
The people who i work with are very nice to me, especially the teacher i have been assisting as well as the principal, these two people are the ones who trust me the most.
so working may not be that bad afterall, i'm hoping for a better day tomorrow cause i nearly ripped my hair off this morning. hahhaha

Went down to the IT fair on Sunday and i went through pure madness.
there were so many people and the music from the different booths was awful.
I was so happy when we finally got our stuff and went for lunch.
Then when we were going out of Suntec City, we were stuck in a human jam for more than 15 mins, i believe. When we finally got out of Suntec, i thought the worst was over. But to my horror and to the horror of the hundreds of people around me, the shuttle of City Link was closed, meaning, we cant walk to City Hall through City Link. It doesnt matter if it wasnt raining, the worst was that it was raining. and so we tried to act smart, we walked to Marina Square, thuinking that we would get to City Link via Marina Square. But hey, everyone else was as smart. Majority walked to Marina Square, but then the doors to City Link were locked. So in the end, we had to walk in the rain to Esplanade and get back into City Link. We thought great, finally. But as we were approaching the MRT station, the shutter between City Link and City hall was closed. so everyone had to squeeze through that small little door to get to the MRT. So City link was closed, albeit having hundreds of people in City Link. Do you know how dangerous that is? and there were no security guards at all. All it takes is just one person to sabotage, and hundreds could be killed or injured.
my sisters were so hilarious, they kept on scolding people in chinese.

First day of work.
Quite tiring. i only had 4 slices of bread with peanut butter from 7 plus in the morning to like 6 in the evening. The teacher asked me to eat the food at the centre but haha it wasnt really appetising. hahah
and time passed really slowly, from 8.30am to 5.30pm, especially when the children were sleeping. I kept on looking at the clock while they were sleeping and i wished i could sleep too. hahaha i told the principal i was very bored while they were sleeping and she told the teacher to give me something to do tomorrow.
I hope i wouldnt have to work for 5 days next week, if not i would not be able to bring my niece out.

I went out to town with Jamie today and we met at the bus stop outside Tangs.
We had agreed to meet at that bus stop at 11am and at 11.05am, then Jamie called "Genevieve Yim! Where are you?" hahaha, she forgot we were supposed to meet at the bus stop instead of the mrt station haha and for a moment she was so excited cause she thought for once she is earlier than me. ahahaha
we headed down to Great World City and walked around and waited till Dorothy Perkins was opened before we went in and Jamie bought a dress and then we went to the food court to have ban mian. we left for wisma after checking out the stuff at perlini's silver, there were some items on 80% discount.
We went in to Guess and the clothes there are so nice. I saw a jacket which i really like, the design was the one i was looking for and the material was really comfortable, $135. too expensive, i cant afford it. Its expensive yet when you think about it, its the quality which you are paying for and of course the brand, just like GAP or Esprit, its the same everywhere.
Nevermind, i shall day dream about it.
Jamie then went home with me to watch the shows i taped for her. She said my room is neat. hahaha, its the first time someone has said that about my room but thats because i packed it yesterday hahahaha

I finally found a job, like finally.
never mind that i am just going to be a relief teacher, it beats staying at home without any interesting thing to do. At least i can earn some money to go shopping at Tokyo.
I baked yesterday and its the first time my cookies were eaten up within a day. hahah, but they were really nice, i could smell it the moment i opened the container.

After so much of planning for Gold Coast, we have decided not to go to Gold Coast. We would be going to Tokyo instead. we would be following a tour group, so i hope we have nice people in our tour group, not mean ones who report at 9 when asked to report at 8. and i hope the weather would be good and not rain and hopefully, we would be able to see Mount Fuji.
Attended my Granduncle's 90th Birthday party at Peach Garden on Saturday. Irene Ang was the host for the dinner and she is good! She was really funny and entertaining. And the food was really good!
We went to the Natas fair yesterday and my sister was sleeping throughout the whole journey and i couldnt stop laughing at her cause the way she was sleeping was really funny. I laughed quietly till i teared. i must take a picture of her sleeping.
